What is the Rivian R1T?

It's an all electric pick up truck built in America by a new company which pundits think could be the next big thing.

Are there going to be other Rivian models?

The company has big plans for a whole range of vehicles based on the underpinnings of the R1T. The first is the R1S, which is a Range-Rover sized SUV.

What is special about the Rivian R1T?

Quite a lot. There's the sheer size, the clever cubby holes, Porsche-bashing performance and the fact it can spin around like a tank.

When will the Rivian R1T launch in the UK?

Rivian is yet to confirm plans for a European sales network. The fact that we were invited to drive the R1T suggests that Rivian will announce something shortly. However, whether those launch plans extend to creating a right-hand-drive version for UK remains to be seen.

How much will the Rivian R1T cost?

In the US, the Rivian R1T range starts at $67,500, which at current exchange rates is around £56,000. The quad motor model with the larger battery starts at around £68,000 while the range-topping model will set you back around £75,000.
